- VALVE Specification 01 Letters Patent. I

Application filed April a, 1906. Serial No. 809,981.

Patented July 13, 1909.

same has for its object more particularly to provide a valve with means for actuating the same so arranged that the valve cannot be operated except by means of a separate key or device of distinctive shape and form.

Further said invention has for its object to provide a valve which will not leak when fluid under pressure is transferred from the container to which the some is attached to another receptacle or container by means of a closedv connection, such as a flexible tube or E0 the attainment of the ob' ects and ends aforesaid my invention consists in the novel details of construction and in the combination, connection and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the. accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, wherein like numorals of reference indicate like parts, Figtime 1. is a central. longitudinal section on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2, showing one form of a valve made according to and embodying m invention; Fig. 2 isv an end view thereoi, with the operating lever removed; Fig. 3 is a detail central section showing the upper part of a valve embodying a, modified constructi'on; Fig. 4 is a side view, partly in section, of the valve operating screw, and Fig. 5. is a top view thereof.

In said drawings designates the valvr casing comprising a horizontal cylindrical portion 11 and a vertical cylindrical portion 12 forming a nozzle arranged at right angles to said horizontal portion and communicating therewith. The portion 11 is provided uponitsouter surface at its rear end with a hexagonal head l3, and upon its inner sur face with screw threads 14. Intermediate said threaded rear end and the vertical portion 12:, the said: portion 111 is provided wlth an enlar ed portion forming a valve chamber 1 6 w lch communicates with the vertical port1 on 12 through an opening 17.

Within the threaded portion 11 adjacent to the valve chamber 16 is secured a spider 18 having rearwardly extending arms terminatmg in a bearing 19, within which is supported the rear end of a reci rocable valve stem 20 which is supported at its forward end in a bearing 21 provided within the vertical portion 12. i

22 denotes a valve arranged within the chamber 16 u on the stem 20 adapted to seat 11 11 an annu ar valve seat23 formed of suita le metal or material disposed in an annular groove surrounding the opening v1'? and 25 denotes a spring disposed upon the rear end of the valve stem 20 intermediate the bearin 19 and. valve 22 whereby to normally ho d the latter pressed to its seat. U n the forward end of the valve stem 20 wit in the vertical or nozzle portion 12-are provided collars 26, 27 between which is disposed the lower bifurcated end of a lever 28 which is provided near its upper end with a lateral proection' 29 through which extends a pivot or s ort shaft 30 which is supported at its opposite ends in suitable bearings in the vertical or nozzle portion '12. The upper end of said vertical or nozzle portion 12 has a recessed, thrcadedportion 31 in which is dissed an annular gasket 32, a flexible metal iaphragm 33 having metal disks 34, 35 secured together u on the upper and lower surfaces of said (ii at the center thereof, and 36 denotes a screw-cap secured within the upper. end of said vertical or nozzle portion 12. Said cap 36 is provided at its center with an upwardly projecting boss 37 having an aperture extendingtherethrough in the lower end of which is disposed a stud 39 pro vided with a rim or flange 40 below said cap 36. The lower end of the stud 39 bears upon the disk 34 on the diaphragm 33, and the-disk 35 directly below the same contacts with the upper end of the lever 28. i pon the horizontal portlon- 11 directly above the valve chamber 16 is an upwardly projecting lug 41', in which is mounted a pin or stud 42 having fixed upon its outer ends substantially square heads 43', 43 provided with projections 44, 44, and 45 denotes an operating handle having a bifurcated end 4A6 provided with recesses 47, 47 conformed at their inner ends to the square heads 43, 43 of the pin or stud 42 on the valve casing.

48 denotes a projection arranged upon the underside'of the handle adjacent to its bifurcated end which projection is adapted to bear upon the upper end of the stud 39 arranged in the cap 36.

50 denotes a 00k which is pivotally secured to the underside of the handle 45 and adapted to en age an eye or loop 49 on the upper end of t ie portion 12 of the valve casing whereby pressed position. Upon the front of the vertical or nozzle portion 12 is a hook 51 for supporting a receptacle below said nozzle.

The operation of the valve is as follows: By depressing the handle 45, the proi'cction 48 will bear upon the stud 39 depress t s diaphragm 33, the upper end of the lever 28, and force the lower bifurcated end thereof inward, and cause the same to shift the valve stem 20 rearward and unseat the valve 22. The valve 22 will remain unseated as long as pressure is applied to the handle 45, or the same locked toits depressed )osition by the hook 50. As soon as the hool is released or the pressure upon the handle 45 removed, the valve 22 will immediately seat under the influence of the spring 25.

In the modification illustrated at .liig. 3, the body of the valve 55 is constructed as hereinabove described, except that in this construction I provide the boss 56 on the cap .57 With exterior screw-threads, and fit a cover 58 thereon having a smaller threaded aperture extending thercthrough in which works an operating screw 59 having a head 60 provided in its upper surface withan irregular recess 61 adapted to receive a conformed projection on the under side of a handwheel 62. The lower end of said screw 59 bea s upon the upper end of a stud (33 contacting with the upper of the disks on the diaphragm interposed between the said stud 63 and the lever 64.

The opiration of this structure is obvious.

It will be noted that in my improved valve the operating arts are all contained Within a sealed casing 1aving only an opening or nozzle for the passage of the fluid thercthrough, and that by this arrangement it becomes possible to transfer fluids (particularly those under pressure) from one receptacle or container to another Without danger or possibility of leakage, and further by the particular form of operating devices employed to actuate the valve it becomes impossible for a stranger to tamper therewith.
